As the newcomer I am to OpenSUSE, I found myself frequently consulting the zypper man pages, as well as the Zypper Usage section on the OpenSUSE site at [0], so I thought it would be nice to have a cheat sheet to consult when I had doubts, and since I looked for one and couldn't find it, I created one of my own to have all the data together. And of course, I want to share this with all of you, let me know what you think of it. I uploaded it to Google Docs, here are the links:
Hi Juan! Very good job, indeed! :O) Few comments: * the cheat sheet should mention zypper version it is describing Ideally, this should be the latest stable version (currently 1.0.x). * why not just mention one of the three means of getting command help (i would use 'zypper help [command]', the other two are for those used to --help/-h, and are common in linux world) * in modifyrepo examples, the following one might be more interesting than -Ka (that goes for the zypper/Usage wiki page, i'll change it): zypper mr -kt # enable rpm files caching for all remote repos * adding repos: the example needs an alias * in Selecting Packages, by capability, i'd put zypper in 'perl(Log::Log4perl)' instead of one of those two. That'll make it more obvious what a capability is. * ... by specifying an .rpm file, the example could be: zypper in skype-2.0.0.72-suse.i586.rpm * in Zypper in Scripts, the 'zypper --non-interactive' update should now be 'zypper --non-interactive patch' in fact (and given the comment). * Packages Locks: the subsection title should be "Lock Packages", not "Lock all Pacakges" That's it for now. I see the cheat sheet is already on the zypper's wiki page, good! Thanx a bunch again! :O) I hope you'll get a few followers :O)
Looking at the examples on that page, i guess i should come up with a few improvements here and there :O) -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
